Why is my Gen 1 Apple Pencil only connecting intermittently?
I have a first generation Apple Pencil and a 10.5" iPad Pro running iPadOS v15.0.2. I haven't used my pencil in a couple of years so I charged it from the iPad overnight. When plugged into the Lightning port, it will appear in Settings > General > About beneath SEID for about half a second, then disappear for about half a second and repeat. Whether plugged or unplugged, it appears under Settings > Bluetooth > My Devices as not connected, and when I tap it I get a message, "Connection Unsuccessful." The Pencil doesn't appear in the battery widget in Today View (though the iPad does, along with three blank circles for other devices). Any way to get the Pencil to work?
